I was hoping to get past the 250 silver coin mark for the year, but the last few silver coins have been hard to come by. This morning right out of the gate I found my first silver coin for the day. It only took me about 20 minutes to get it cornered and dug. The second silver coin that I didn't find took nearly 3 1/2 hours of my time. Now that sucks! On a bright note the weather was super nice today.

This was my 91th hunt for the year and my grand total for silver coins this year is 244.
I'll total all my gold and silver rings and other jewelry at the end of the year.

What Skippy said. We pretty much ran out of time in the Northeast but with the weather as weird as it is now we may get a winter warm spell. Who knows? :icon_thumright:

C'mon Tabman! Just 6 to go! You can doooo it! With just 8-9 days left for the year, that is one half a silver coin per day...or just one every other day...I think you can do it! Good luck...ddf

Thanks Everyone! With the 10 days remaining there's Christmas, rain and I suppose to take my 3 nephews on a rode trip to visit with my uncle. Finding just one or two silver coins a day is really killing me. Whatever happened to finding 5, 7 or 10 coins on a single hunt. I need a hot site that's loaded up with silver coins. Maybe tomorrow I'll get lucky and get this monkey off my back. LOL

Yep,, 2017 is right around the corner.
We have a forecast for a few days of 40+ degrees coming up. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Congrats on your hunt.

Like the others, my money is riding on you making the 250 goal. Some fair weather, and few more hunts will put you over the top! I think the bigger monkey to deal with is figuring out how you are going top this year's silver count in 2017! Good luck!
